Can I afford it?

The staff in my department are friendly and, most importantly, approachable. It makes a real difference when you know that there are people who will give you support, help and advice when you need it.

Student Satisfaction

After visiting several open days, Reading was the only place where I could really see myself living and studying. The campus has a really friendly atmosphere, and its location is ideal. I also liked the idea of living off campus in halls but still only a very short walk away.
